Climate change is the biggest threat to human health in the 21st century, according to the WHO. The project will work with policymakers and key stakeholders at EU, national and international levels to understand their evidence needs on climate and health. We will then summarise the scientific evidence on climate change and health linkages, identify knowledge gaps and translate the evidence into outputs relevant to EU, national and regional policies to shape low-carbon economies and build climate resilience. 

The key thematic focus is on environmental and occupational heat, air pollution (including forest fires) and climate-sensitive infectious diseases, with particular attention to high-risk groups and populations. (More on enbel-project.eu)
